Achtung Bono is the tenth album by UK indie rock band Half Man Half Biscuit, released in 2005. [4]
In 2010, a Facebook campaign was mounted with the aim of saving BBC 6 Music from threatened closure and, as a sign of protest, to get "Joy Division Oven Gloves" from Achtung Bono to No. 6 in the UK Singles Chart on 12 April 2010. [5] [6] In the event, it entered the Singles Chart that week at No. 56 and the Independent Singles Chart at No. 3. [7] [8] Whether or not the campaign was influential, BBC 6 Music was saved.
